Hi all,

A week ago I noticed a cephalotus seed sprouted. Today seed is like the first day, stopped, is it usual? Do I have to worry about?

What exactly is your question? Do you have to worry about what?
The fact that you got germination at all on a ceph seed is great. How long did it take, and how did you sterilize them?

Hi doomsday,

My question is about the slow growing, since it sprouted nothing has happened in 8-10 days.

It took almost 2 months to do, i used ppm and household bleach.

Ah, I see. I wouldn't worry about it, at all. As long as your culture is sterile, and you have some living tissue in there you're on the right track. It's just a matter of time before some kind of growth appears. Be it normal growth, or callus. You never know whats going on inside the plant tissue just by looking at it from the outside.

What kind of media is it on? any hormones?

It is plain media, no pgrs. I will update with pictures if everything is ok. Thanks for your answer

Cephs are slow growing, even in TC, im envious that you even managed to get viable seed
